Who's registering/registered for the half mile event?
I registered for Saturday...
planning on running my car pretty much as it sits, with potentially a few upgrades... nothing too serious...
In order of what I want to get done... and why...
1. change over to a air to water i/c setup... why?? currently at the top of a 1/4 mile run, my iat's go from about 3-4 degrees above ambient to about 40 or so above... I will run a big ol ice box & heat exchanger with it t hopefully combat this... additionally having ait's below ambient at the starting line could be pretty awesome.
2. possibly change over to a l26 intake manifold instead of the l36... i sort of feel that the metal would just be better... albeit ive beat the piss out of the plastic one and it has been okay... knock on wood... and the ls1 guys seem to run the plastic shit okay also.
3. get some weight out of it to hopefully protect the trans as much as possble... nothing serious here, probably just parts of the stereo, rear seat, floor mats, junk, etc... this step doesnt matter so much seeing as how im 215 lbs and my car has an extra 65 lbs of sound deadening in it
4. suspension shit... tighten everything up- new bushings etc etc... and get an alignment... the last thing i need at 100+ mph is my car getting a death shake
what do you guys got?
